Crypto markets saw a sudden wave of liquidations, with over $100 million wiped out in roughly the past 60–70 minutes, based on the latest data visible at the time of this snapshot.
The rapid flush followed renewed macro uncertainty and coincided with a sharp move lower across major cryptocurrencies, triggering forced closures on leveraged positions.
Bitcoin led the move, briefly breaking below key intraday support levels.
Bitcoin Drops Below $92,000 as Selling Pressure Accelerates
Bitcoin fell under the $92,000 mark, extending losses after failing to hold higher support levels. The sell-off appeared fast and mechanical, suggesting liquidations — rather than spot selling — were the primary driver.
Short-term price action now shows Bitcoin consolidating at lower levels as traders reassess risk following the liquidation cascade.
Gold and Silver Break Records as Capital Rotates to Safe Havens
While crypto pulled back, traditional safe-haven assets surged.
- •Gold hit a new all-time high above $4,700
- •Silver followed, reaching a fresh record near $95
The divergence highlights a classic risk-off rotation, with capital flowing into metals amid geopolitical and macro uncertainty.
Macro Headlines Add Fuel to Volatility
Markets are also bracing for potential developments from the US Supreme Court, which may issue a ruling on President Trump’s tariff policies later today. Traders are positioning cautiously ahead of the announcement, expecting further volatility across both traditional and digital assets.
At the same time, broader tech and sentiment headlines — including developments around X’s algorithm transparency — are adding to an already fragile risk environment.
Market Outlook: Volatility Likely to Persist
With liquidations still fresh, Bitcoin below key psychological levels, and macro headlines pending, volatility is likely to remain elevated in the short term.
If Bitcoin fails to reclaim lost support, further downside pressure cannot be ruled out. However, stabilization could follow if liquidation flows subside and macro uncertainty clears.
